A detta del presidente della CTIA (praticamente la Confindustria della telefonia) ha precisato che la industria del wireless triplicherà il numero di stazioni radio base nei prossimi 5 anni per implementare il 5G ! The CTIA President and former FCC member, Meredith Atwell Baker, claimed In an interview that the wireless industry will triple the number of cell towers in the US in the next few years to expedite 5G deployment, from 150,000 to 450,000 cell towers: "It will start rolling out next year, but we'll see more commercial rollouts in 2020. But that depends on getting the rules right for these networks. We're talking about cell sites the size of pizza boxes rather than 200-foot-tall towers. The industry in the past decade has rolled out 150,000 towers, and we'll be looking to roll out 300,000 in the next few years. What we're looking for is changes in infrastructure so we can roll this out faster and at an affordable cost." -- Chief wireless
